The
New york giants received
some good news on Monday as they announced that No. 1 wide receiver Hakeem
Nicks passed his
physical and has been activated off the physically unable to perform list.
Nicks suffered a broken foot during organized team
activities on May 24. Last week, Nicks said he wasmaking progress in his rehab and
expected to be ready for the Giants '
regular-season opener against
the Dallas
Cowboys on
Sept. 5.
"This is an indication that we're right where we should be, " Nicks
said, according to the Associated Press. "We're on schedule. There have
been no setbacks. I'm just going to take it one step at a time and be out there
catching passes from Eli (Manning) and eventually get our timing back. "
In his three seasons in the NFL, Nicks has 202 receptions for 3, 034 yards and
24 touchdowns. As the NFL's Director of NFC Football Communications Randall Liu
pointed out Monday ,
Nicks is also the only Giants receiver
to post 75-plus receptions, more than 1,000 receiving yards and seven or more
receiving touchdowns in consecutive seasons.
Under the rules of the collective bargaining agreement, Nicks won't be able to
practice in full pads for the first three days following his removal from the
PUP list. This means Nicks' on-field work at training camp will be limited as
the team breaks camp
Wednesday .
"I'm very excited about that, " said Nicks about returning.
"They're letting me know that by the beginning of next week, I can start
doing some stuff with the team; some individual and stuff like that. They still
want me to take it slow and be smart about it. But I feel good about being out
there progressing myself with the team slowly but surely. ".
